...Things began just over a week ago when the group [Anonymous] declared war on Lizard Squad, a rival gang, if you will. That loosely run outfit had claimed responsibility for the takedown of Christmas for many people. In other words, it attacked the networks of both Sony Playstation and Microsoft Xbox on the day everyone was getting a new console. A cowardly act that they claimed was done just for fun.
The fun is over, as the group did a poor job of disguising members' identities and several are now in the hands of authorities. Worse for them, Anonymous declared war, which is the last thing anyone wishes to have happen to them.
Now Anonymous is setting its eyes, and considerable technological firepower, on Jihadist groups, looking to retaliate for the recent tragedy that took place in Paris, France...
Very good comic, BTW...-wraith808 (January 11, 2015, 10:29 AM)
Sounds more like the Guns from Black Summer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Summer) by Ellis. Which is a little more frightening.Thanks! Will be added to my list.

Saw this in an article by Alan Buckingham on BetaNews. Apparently Anonymous is expanding it's range of target baddies to include non-government and non-corporate SOBs. Most interesting if so. Especially since it drastically ups the stakes (and physical risks) for Anonymous if it becomes their new charter. More here (http://betanews.com/2015/01/10/anonymous-breaks-hacker-stereotype-stands-up-for-what-is-right/).

You know that popcorn is GMO, and contains secret messages! You're a courier for anonymous!
:D ;D
Damn. Conspiracy parody humor is even more fun than the things themselves! It's like Nathan Poe made his law while time traveling to talk to Edgar Allen Poe!

I've watched it several times. The director's cut, in particular, is quite good. Not on the same level as the comics, but good nonetheless. :P-Vurbal (January 11, 2015, 09:31 PM)
